Celebrating Jim McNeely

Celebrating Jim McNeely, a retrospective concert on September 10 at New York’s DiMenna Center for Classical Music, pays tribute to this singular body of work, featuring performances of some of the most iconic compositions from across his career, performed by an 18-piece jazz orchestra stacked with key McNeely associates. The concert includes appearances by special guests John Scofield (guitar), Dick Oatts (alto sax), Ed Neumeister (trombone), Martin Wind (bass), Adam Nussbaum (drums), and John Riley (drums). The ensemble is conducted by Rufus Reid, Mike Holober, Darcy James Argue, Migiwa Miyajima, and Daniel Jamieson, who are also organizing and producing the event, in collaboration with JazzComposersPresent.com.
